Took this in Virgina City graveyard. Couldn't wait for the best light, was going to shoot Hot August Nights car show in Reno. Cropped down to get rid of some extra fence and a little pp.

Pic was taken at 16:08 - would have been much better later in the day, I think, there would have been much more atmospheric light.

Compo's not bad, though.


To capture a moment in time, and share it with someone else...

It looks much too bright out, plus It looks like you cropped the image in a very unconventional/ratio that seems to only fit what you want to show instead of making the image better. Look for the right composition when you're taking the picture instead of cropping it on a computer.

i wish i would have been a better photographer last year when i was in salem mass. such awesome graveyards there. and spooky too :)

i like your pic. but like the others have said.. taken too early in the day. so its too bright.. sinset would look nice. or even at night with a super long exposure

Was in too much of a hurry to wait for the light to be better since I was going to a car show, have plans to go shoot there again at a better time in the near future. Thanks for the C&C.

I just think there's too much going on in the shot. It's a tad busy. I like the strong contrast.
